number two, let's be clear about the population we're talking about. i remember my first job when i was about 24 years old and i got this huge benefits package in front of me that was so overwhelming to sort through to understand health care. these young people between 18 and 25 or 18 and 29 haven't had to deal with that yet so they're the least educated about the consumers of all healthcare. they're stoill on their parents plans. the idea that they're rejecting something just isn't true. they just don't understand or have had to engage with the healthcare system. >> to be realistic, i was thinking about that study that the rnc did over the summer and when you talk to the leaders of -- of college republicans, you know, they were using words like bigots. they were saying things like the republicans don't understand our generation. so, really, is the fact that you guys are doing any better? >> let me say this. the first party whether it's democrat or republican that understands this generation has had everything in the private sector tailored to them and
